You can buy your Regional Monthly and Annual season ticket through the RET web shop. Topping up your balance online, or loading the Automatic top-up product onto your public transport chip card can also be arranged through the RET web shop.

Travel Products and Balance top-ups purchased online can be uploaded to your public transport chip card at a collection point.

Sales in bus and tram

If the balance on your public transport chip card is not sufficient or if it does not hold a valid travel product, you must immediately buy a disposable public transport chip card from the bus driver or tram conductor, with the ‘RET 1 hour’ travel product. You can buy a bus BOB bus ticket from the BOB bus driver. Tickets for the Fast Ferry are all sold on board.
